Download desired MySql generic binaries for your platform from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/ Then just install using simple linux script(run from /share directory where setup binaries are placed ) , refer below for a script i used for years , worked for 5.1,5.5,5.6

Note : 1.MySql 5.6 does not come with default 'my.cnf' therefore be careful 2. Make sure you uninstall any exiting MySql setup

e.g

#!/bin/sh
DOWNLOAD_DIR="/share"
ZIP_FILE=mysql-enterprise-5.1.55-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz
MYSQL_DIR=mysql-enterprise-5.1.55-linux-x86_64-glibc23

if test -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/mysql-enterprise-5.1.55-linux-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz; then
    echo "Starting MySql 64 bit install..."
elif test -f $DOWNLOAD_DIR/mysql-enterprise-5.1.55-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz; then
    echo "Starting MySql 32 bit install..."
    ZIP_FILE=mysql-enterprise-5.1.55-linux-i686-glibc23.tar.gz
    MYSQL_DIR=mysql-enterprise-5.1.55-linux-i686-glibc23
else
    echo "installation tar.gz not found, quitting..."
    exit 2
